Telurio™ Packager JITP

A key component in Imagine Communications’ Cloud DVR (cDVR) solution, Telurio™ Packager JITP is one of the world’s most advanced and feature-rich software-based products that enables video content to be viewed on the ever-expanding array of consumer devices. With the versatile Telurio™ Packager JITP, packaging of assets is performed only when content is requested by a user; this saves storage costs associated with pre-packaging video-on-demand assets, and simplifies migration to new packaged formats.

For DVR and VOD applications, rather than having to prepackage all profiles of every program in all adaptive streaming protocols, Telurio™ Packager JITP packages content in real time into the appropriate protocol when that content is requested by viewers. Packaged streams are delivered to web servers or a content delivery network for distribution to end user devices. This innovative just-in-time packaging (JITP) capability enables video service providers to keep their storage and bandwidth costs in check as their multiscreen distribution content libraries grow.

Storage cost savings — Assets need only be stored in a single mezzanine format with Just-in-Time packaging. Content is then packaged just when the asset is requested for playback. Without JITP, every asset must be stored in multiple formats, increasing storage costs

Prevent DRM lock in — By encrypting when the assets are requested, service providers prevent DRM lock-in by not requiring pre-encryption when assets are stored

Format future-proofing — VOD libraries do not need to be repackaged when new HTTP streaming protocols emerge.

Hot record playback — Ability to deliver content that is still being recorded.

“Cablevision ruling” Cloud-based DVR (cDVR) copies — Helps service providers meet this requirement by only storing a single mezzanine format for each asset that users record for cDVR playback.

One system for all uses — Using JITP for VOD with a caching CDN can automatically lead to caching of short tail assets in the CDN and the use of JITP for un-cached long-tail assets.

Simplified operations — Adding new package formats does not require changes to existing content processing workflows; changes are instead made on the JITP server.
